(Q) Editing the .rfs file

How can I edit the rfs file? I heard that using MagicISO can help, but when I tried to open it up, it tells me that they don't support it.

You can use MagicISO to extract the rfs file.

I have looked around to repack an extacted system.sin but never found how to do it. To dump the ext4 img just use ext2 explorer after it has finished extracting & loading click save in the toolbar and choose the folder where you want to save it.

There's no tutorial on how to build one or a tool. Not for windows anyway.

[Q] convert a FTF ROM to a ZIP ROM

I think that in order to customize a ROM it needs to be in ZIP format, right?
At least in ZIP format I was able to browse the contents of ROMs while in FTF it didn't work with 7zip, or at least the contents are not easily readable.
So, can anyone help me converting FTF to ZIP? I'm on Windows 7.
I tried a tool called F2Z but it didn't work with my Sony Xperia Miro FTF ROM file.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers

1. Open .zip with WinRar or 7zip. Extract system.sin
2. Use the sin extractor tool in FlashTool.
3. The result is a system.ext4 file.
4. If on Linux or OS X, mount it and zip the system folder. On WinRar you can use a tool like Ext2Extractor to do the job.
5. ????
6. Profit.

solution for img extraction/fix here

Downloaded Chinese firmware but can't extract Call Recorder - IMG file not EXT4 !

Please anyone senior to comment of what I do and what's the right way ?
- I decompressed Chinese firmware for P40Pro. Finally extracted bunch of partitions as IMG files and I am lost now:
Linux says
>file system.img
> DATA
while I expected EXT4. Maybe extraction went wrong ? How do I now open IMG partition and get my Call recorder from it ? What other API I would need to extract to allow access to mic and speakers... Anyone can put some light on all this topic ?

Where did you get the firmware, If I could give it a try, I might be able to retrieve the apk (not sure, but there's always a chance if the apk exists).

Huawei switched away from the EXT4 file system to EROFS

Works like charm :

I found it here at easy firmwares. I also have found a script on XDA which should extract content of IMG file which is not EXT3 indeed.
Here is a thread about mounting EROFS
Maybe this helps someone ?

I get an error when I updated. it looks so error 412 #23234sQwerRddgg? Who can help me?
